Florida. No other explanation needed.
Gators?
Gators could design better roads. Don’t insult the gators.
I know, gators are smart.

Alright nervous as I am to ask, what does this mean?

I’m pretty sure it’s saying you can’t turn left onto the road to the left of the intersection. Looks like some pretty bad road design.
I didn’t realize we were here to play geoguessr but you win!
I’m gonna say it’s easy when the street names are in the photo.
Easier, definitely. And a unique street name. But it’s quite hard to read the cross street name. All I can see is the “E DR” at the end. I probably wouldn’t have bothered from just seeing the one street and no other text.
I got lucky with Google Maps highlighting the apartment building in the background as a POI to match up with.
Atlanta and Peachtree Rd/Ln/Dr/Ave/Way/Plaza/literally 65 more variations of this say hello.
I think it makes giving directions easier. Everything in this town is ‘just off Peachtree’
It’s also easier when there are no rules saying you can’t enter that road name into Google maps.
This is exactly the type of content i was hoping for when i clicked on the comments. Thank you for all you hard work sluthing for an explination of a random photo. Its truly gods work that your doing.
I understand the intent from your graphic, but given the signage, I would not have known what they expected of me.
The painting on the road should indicate a 45° left instead of 90° left.
It’s a detour…you have to drive through the bush.
That’s Miami. Nobody pays attention to street signs anyway.
Seems the mildly infuriating part is the left out information.
Hi neighbor … we should really make /c/miami
I knew it. I said “I’ve only seen road design this bad in one so-called state.”
Miami dade exists in it’s own state separate from Florida …
a state of chaos (and it’s constant)
I’m surprised it doesn’t already exist. Do you want the honors? I already mod a few groups here, I can easily help with that too.
Do eet! I don’t have the time to run ANOTHER community
Dale. I’ll figure that out once I’m off work later.
I’ll join
Auditor trap.
Apart from what some commenters already pointed out (about the orientation of the roads there), I’m not sure how it’s going in the US, but in Europe, we have a hierarchy, where the sign on a pole takes precedence over the sign painted on the road.
The hierarchy is:
- Police officer’s hand signs
- Traffic lights
- Signs on a pole
- Signs painted on the road
According to this, you cannot turn left, even though it looks like a left turning lane.
Is there such a thing in the US?

Orange you sure that construction signs shouldn’t be a different color?

Oh, I was always told the yellow signs are suggestions
deleted by creator
Yellow signs are suggestions or warnings. Always have been. Construction (temporary) are orange. As seen in the OP.
When it comes to what order on how you should follow them:
- Orange
- White
- Yellow
Is there such a thing in the US?
Yeah.
- Whatever the heck I want, because “ma freedom”
- Police officer’s hand signs
- Traffic lights
- Signs on a pole
- Signs painted on the road
in Europe, we have a hierarchy
This is definitely not true for all of Europe. In Germany, for instance, signs on roads have equal precedence to signs on poles.
What do you do if they contradict?
That’s the neat part: They don’t. At least I have never seen confusing signage/markings.
You sure have a lot of faith in people.
In Germany we actually test people before we let them drive cars. If you’re from the US, this concept might be unfamiliar :D
This has nothing to do with the drivers, and more to do with municipal workers putting up signage.
Sit there untill either the sign or the paint fade away
Here in Finland we just wait for snow, then you can’t see the painted one.
Which is why it was such a great idea to replace our solid “you can’t pass here” lines from their old bright yellow to EU matching white so that that self driving cars understand them correctly. So now during the winter both of us and the machines can’t see them equally well.
Sometimes construction makes for unexpected detours.
(I should probably mention that it’s also a dead end road, so no backing out)
Gotta jump that roof like a ramp
They really said “fuck that house in particular!”
that’s the sign for “make a new friend in a yellow house with red shingles”
So just… Detour through the hedge?
You can’t, there’s a do not enter sign on the other side.
Time to levitate. But there’s probably a TFR in effect.
Only if GPS tells you to.
